Our Values

We continue to support and champion independent music

Music is a universal language that connects us all. The Fred Perry shirt is a piece of British subcultural uniform, adopted by various groups of people who recognise their own values in what it stands for. We are proud of its lineage and what the Laurel Wreath has represented for over 65 years: inclusivity, diversity and independence.

You’ll find the Laurel Wreath on the stage, backstage and in the crowd. We are synonymous with music and we proudly support the spirit of independence.

From championing new talent to supporting the 100 Club, hosting diverse Subculture Live events all around the world and partnering with the Music Venue Trust – music is as important to us as it is to you.

Our Values

We proudly support the Amy Winehouse Foundation

Set up by Amy’s family in 2011, the Amy Winehouse Foundation helps to prevent the effects of drug and alcohol misuse on young people.

We contribute to the Foundation with each Amy Winehouse collection, supporting their vital work. From 2013 to present day, we have paid over £1.2m to the Amy Winehouse Foundation in royalty payments.

In Amy’s memory, the Foundation works to inspire children and young people to build their self-esteem and resilience, so that they can flourish. Set up in 2011, The Amy Winehouse Resilience Programme has worked with over 300,000 pupils, in over 300 educational institutions across the UK.

Our Values

The Fred Perry Tennis Championship

In 2019, we introduced a new national youth tennis tournament: The Fred Perry Championship. 100 years after Fred first played at the Brentham Club, we returned to home soil to watch the best of the UK’s players compete to become the best in their age group. We recently won the Middlesex Tennis Competition of the Year Award for 2020, in recognition for the organisation and delivery of the tournament.

The Fred Perry Championship is a launch pad for a longer-term national initiative in conjunction with the LTA and local councils.

We host free coaching clinics for young tennis enthusiasts and have refurbished courts in need up and down the country.

Our Subculture Investment

The first of its kind, The Museum of Youth Culture was set up to document the attitudes, styles and expressions of youth across the UK. Its aim: to inspire future generations to make their own mark on the world around them.

Fred Perry proudly support their work and collaborate with the Museum on a number of projects.

We host events around the globe and shine a spotlight on local independents.

OUR VALUES

The Power of__Festival

In June 2021, we partnered with the Power of__Festival to celebrate the power of black identity and its lasting impact on British culture.

Founded by diversity, equality and inclusion consultancy The Fashion Minority Report, the Power of__Festival offered an opportunity to explore topics surrounding art, activism and social mobility, focusing on the voices often repressed by society.

“In the wake of the 2020 BLM protests, my deep passion for advancing the careers of marginalised voices led me to launch the Fashion Minority Report as a solution for driving the conversation around inclusion and diversity to a point of measurable change." - Daniel Peters, Festival Organiser and Founder
